Bug?: In Address Book, I create a new Group list. In several of my Contacts, the individual has two different email addresses. I successfully add a person with their Primary email address.

BUT, when I try to add a secondary email (i.e., add the same person a second time but using their non-primary email address), the Group List will re-list the primary address a second time and not accept a secondary email address.

Is there a fix for this?

{I'm using Linux Mint 22.3, Thunderbird 140.12.1esr 64, mint - 001-1.0}

My address books have disappeared from Thunderbird I had the usual Personal and connected lists plus a couple of named lists. I was told that they were probably still available MY Profile and if I asked Thunderbird to import them as an SQlite file I'd get them back. It hasn't worked. How do I do it?

In sending a new email, when I go to enter the "TO," various email choices pop-up - but not all are correct. How can I add and/or correct those popup choices?

BTW, I have a screenshot. How do I get it here?

We have a common email address manger@redwoodscholars.uk we recently changed manager George left us and Louise joined us. Louise changed Georges name in the setting page and removed his signature on her laptop. I changed the name in my address book and deleted all my history, Louise sent me an email which showed it was from Louise<manager@ etc> BUT when I clicked on reply, the reply was addressed to George<manager@etc> The mail is managed by web mail on stmp.host.co.uk.

What else do I need to do to correct this?

Thunderbird on my new Macbook Pro doesn't recognise the MacOs Contacts, it's empty. Do I need to run a complete new installation? (Also Gmail refuses to accept outgoing mail.)

I create a new address book in Thunderbird. I add several email addresses to that book. I close Thunderbird at the end of the day. When I open Thunderbird the next day, the new address book has disappeared. Any idea what I am doing wrong, missing?

My Address Book appears to be old and out of date. There's at least 10 years of emails in there somewhere. Random old emails are there, but what's visibile is not really useful here and now. How can I restore at least some degree of usefulness?

It's possible to drag/drop contacts from To to CC or BCC.

It should be possible to do so across messages open in separate windows.

But when I try it, it fails.

I am computer literate, but please remember that literacy is a 4th grade degree of knowledge so please be gentle with me. I have installed Thnderbird on a new computer but cannot import the address book from my old computer. Please help. Thank you.
